Tlie Bishop of Man- chester said, nut long since, that "Jesus was. , - the "Teat secularist of his time, and that by fJi V.h'raso " Kinirdom of Keavcn v (or1 of -God") he by no means meant any region "tiej-ond" the grave, but a new moral order in "- the earth and iii the-present. Qur author ,U of the &ime opinion, that Christ, " Tike "John the Baptist, was an Ejsene, a sect " : which had divided from the Pharisees - some two centuries, before, his birth, but lie by no means' adhered rigidly to the doctrines of the sect, which, after his death, -' made a saint of hiui, and when the system of Christianity was finally formed we find its moral eleiiients. beyond those common to ", all religions, to be J-ssone." Baptism, celi- bacy, satramental communion, religious Jr ders, hermits, and almost all the distinctive features of the Christianity of the early centuries, accordjng-to Mr. Conway, were the inheritance it received from its Ksscne' parentage. Christianity lie bcficTes to have declined and is destined to die out because " there is not a sane man or wo man who fulfills the duties prescribed by the New Testament." ' We don't turn the other check when smitten, we don't refuse to go io law, we don't give our cloak wlicn our coat is taken, we don't sell all and gi ve to the poor, we "don't live in common, &c., '&e. Neither in the letter nor in the spirit do Christians do these things, cOnsecjuentl "Christianity has a name to live but s dead." But did Christians ever, as a re-l . ligious body, do all these things and live, up to the, Spirit of Christ? Mr. Cosway is a believer in the ultimate perfection of humanity, but will admit that it is a long way from perfect yet, and so are Christians, vof. tliia orany ag-,- irafttvm living" up to; the gTirit, tiotthe letter alone,'- of. .(Jhrist's teachings; but the point he makes is that Christianity never even pretends in this day to teach that man ought to do" these thing's, -consequently it is not the teachings of Christ who never ; taught- i Utoili'ni -Christianity.""- lie says, ."It is dis hoFiest to go through the Xcw Testament J find put everything you like on one side, , and all you dislike ,on the other, and ! say wne parwl is true and the other j false. -. 'fhat U using false weight and meas ures. Where would science be if men of . 'science decided on the 'facts of nature, by . their prefereiiecs, and a. man were, permit ted to discredit a discovered law because he had a distaste for it? What should we say of a judge; who should charge a jury Ui believe so much of thq cadence as they iiiund :it cmiifortable 'to ' believe ?. This kind of dishonesty, scorned ' everywhere " else, is even the general rale' in tlieological discissions. This is proved by the fact that .Christians, even liberal, mmisters,' do not hesitate to label all the virtues " Chris- turn Christian charity, Christian liberty, and l wonder they do not say Christian " gravitation and electricity "rwhen they' know that there is not one moral law -or " uiaxiui of Christianity which , was not the cuiiimon currency of all great religions be-, fore the lirth of Christ." I He says it is a fallacA- 'to supposeHhcrc. is 'any causative coiiiiecin.ui uLnctxi.t v114 i-siiujji-Ly ,-uiiu iiie higher civilisation of the chief nations who profess it, admits that there was reflected in it a more refined type of woman, and a higher recognition of -her moral influence by reason of its ideal Madonna, that it' held the germs of a higher political regime in its doctrine of the eipiality of souls be fore (lod, and that it taught the dignity of labor in its theory that' Christ was a poor mechanic, but denies that it is ex.clusivd ,in these teachings, i4 Other and earlier re ligions have tlieir Madonnas and their dek ties incarnate in humble forms, and taught human C'tuality; andifanvofthosereRiduns had happened to get the mastery of Kuroje the same ideas would have been selected out -of them. , It is 'race, time, circum stance,, which keep the same ideas dormant in one pla-e.,and develop them in another. . These determine religious forms, immeas urably inore than religious forms determine them."' In T :of of this he says we have, only 'to "consider the condition of Christi anity auidng other races than our own, and we wjll see. that low races find their bar barism harmonious with Christianity! while, advanced races are crediting it-with! their civilization. ' The Xestorian Christian will kill, a man if c work on Sunday. He finds in the book given him as the Word of God ai ample warrant fur his barbarism as an Englishman can find for his civility. . And just, the same is true of all Other re- j ligious."'. '-John Robert I)o'wnes is how ! (in l87C)in a London prison for really h believing the Bible. In tlidt book he read: 1 'Is any sick among you? let him call for the clders'of the church ; and let theni pray over l)im,- anointing him with oil in the tvname. of the Lord, and the prayer of faith I shall, save" the iick and tlte Lord Khali raise ( hiiu up.-' Here could be no question of j intcqretation; Saint James' prescription is j perfectly plain.

Siirtple minded Downes ! you are in prison" but jyou have laid; bare the' lypocrisy of Christen dom '.; '? Our author reasons that we have atTaiued a high material and scientific civil ization because we" have' freely combined, the select advantages of the world.- "If a man makes a discovery in India we do not refuse it because he is a Brahmin, nor do we . reject a statement by Aristotle in phil osophy because he was a ' pagan ;' we ab sorb G recce,- Rome and Scandinavia jnto our literature, but we have isolated our religion, cut .off the natural streams of in fluence that -would- have fed and enlarged it, and compelled the law of progress to pass over its grave."., Xow, according to his own showing we think this is exactly what we have not done, and can not do: Civilized .Christianity docs not kill a nian'for work- ' ingon Sunday and does protect the lives of men from ignorant snjierstition ; it has enlarged and developed,' as men's minds J have enlarged, lias obeyed the law of pro-! gross-and must in spite of -all efforts to -prevent .it continue to obey it. Our author j says, "while science, art,' civilization are': bending" all their eyes forward, this anom-: alythat religion should ever look backward I; cannot last," No, it emmoi, and there?; are minds in every cliurch of Christendom who feel. and ' say it -cinnot. Evolution !; there certainly has been.," says Canon Cur-i! tcis;. "religion was cradled. amid gross su- Twrst-ithn lnf nt'hist tba perstition, but at 'last the culminating point' was attained, the human-divine of Asiatic speculation - and the . divinely-humanl of: European philosophy met and coalesced, and from that wedlock Emerged Christian-1 ity." " The church," he adds, " never'! teaches that God can be scientifically knovrrf: but only a max has appeared, when time was ripe f jr him; iti whom that awful and! tremendous existence has shown us some-;' thing of his ideas." The appearance of! Christ was but another " creative word in ! thejaseending scale of continuous develop-i: meht." Scientific theology accepts every certain conclusion of physical science as man's unfolding of God's! book of nature, arid Christianity is no more dead. because men do not live up to th requirements of the Sermon on the Mount than chemistry is defunct because we no Vjnger believe in phlogiston or latent caloric. . ;!

I have becoiiie scvaccustomed to our stoc fence system "as to cease thinking about it. Hence I feel that it would be like: demon strating an axiom, or provg, the truth of some first; principle, to argiie for it where it is so well known.' But I kin aware that in many irarts of our State the feeling is dif ferent. Then; will you please, sir, allow me through your columns to liave a plain talk with some people .' (icntlemen 17 You wish Two are pfiered you, alike ' I, to buy a farm, in all respects excejit one ; one has all its. fields fenced with cveiiuxting rails:; the Other, with ordi nary perisnable; rails.-; Its j fences are; in a bad; condition.! It has hardly enough of. timber to make .: necessary rcpains. Yet thisi must be 'repeated everv few-vearsL Wliich will you take"? Those eveihjsting rail.-j add nothing to the ' productiveness., of thejsou-; yet, you prefer that plan, because yiu can keep it :up much more cheaply imagination we fence law has tlvap the -other.- Now, this hare realized. ; Our stock virtually given us that fence of everlasting rails, storms. do not blow it down ; floods do not-Wash it away; fire does not burn it; falling .trees i do;-not make ' broaches for hogs to enter; andihe fox-hunter leaves no gap through which cows pass and range over the fields. . Besides! " briars and thorns'.' do not fill its corners; and v the, grouud on which the old fence stood, is the. most productive part of the farm, Set down, therefore a lawful enhancement - o tliej value of every man's1 farm as the first benefit of the stock fence system. A few years, ago. landadjoiningjne came Into, market at $13.00 1 per acre. To what I needed, I had to take more than I wanted. Afterwards, I sold two lots: one of thirty-five acres, to a young man whose only capital was, good health, able and will ing to work, and an honesty which made.' him 'wary! of debt. ' Three-fifths of it was old field, thick-set with young pines ; the f remainder, virgin forest. lie has cleared' tlireej-fourths of the whole. ; Paid for it.' Put up suitable buildings. . And last year, with the help of a boy to'l;)e, raised, with ohei mule, i eleven bales of cotton ; besides, wheat, . corn, pork, milk, nd butter itr abundance. Now he is ready to buy more land, and spread put on a "two-horse farm. But he ' could not have done all of these things, if : he had been: required to fence off his neighbors' stock from his crop. Out of the same ; old place from which I114 was bought, there are five other places on which the recent purchasers are doing well. J But restore the old system of crop-fencing ,1 require each man to enclose his own fields, so that a tew mangy pigs and as many tick-covered cattle may range at. Iiu-ge; then soon those.six littje farms would; through lack of fencing material, have to go into'one ; and the depopulation which characterized, "the decade betweeiithe years. 1830 r40would be repeated. - A neighbor on another side of me who believes in helping his children some, while he is alive, gave, a few , weeks ago, to two married daughters a lot apiece : one-40, the other 4S acres. The former could be fenced for sometime; the latter could not be fenced at all. 'The division . could not luive been made, with any propriety, in any other way. As their husbands have homes, the lots have been rented for the present year ; the former iat 85.00, the latter at 100. But these things could not have been done' under the old system, at all. I could fill many pages with like- cases ; and could tell of many who owned small farms, but who had been driven to the wall- could have fenced no longer would have been com pelled to sell at a sacrifice -vhen the stock fence law came to their rescue. . Then, set it down, as the second 'great benefit, that it enables many men to remain and do well on their small farms ; and, also, many young men, of no capital only what is-in them, to become owners of farms, j ! ; 1 To "persons w ho have not; seen the prac tical working of the system," it m'ay sound paradoxical to say; that the jsystein enables the .land-holder to realize more per acre for his surplus land ; jand at; the same time, cnibtes poor enterprising, young men to Der . Come land-owners, a thing which they could not do under the bid system with land at less per acre. '- But the thing works, thus :' .jOne.buys at S15.00 per acre twenty acres Miicli he could not fence ; audioes to work on it. ". To have secured that much tillable, land, und timber to fence jit, 'with many gullies between, he. would, in most places; have been compelled to take, nt least 100 acres. ' That at half the above price would $T50? or 150 on which pay interest, for ao benefit whatever. And besides all his, six .Weeks of labor every winter in rail plitting; rail hauling, fence building and jfenee-conier clearing. Now it don't require inuch brains to see that it would be far better for liim to go into the stock fence system, to buy the twenty acres at 300, to save that useless interest on the other 450, and to hire himself lout while he would be doing that useless; labor for S.8 per month and board. If a law could be enacted l and enforced in North Carolina requiring a cubic pit of one thousand cubic feet capacity I to be dug on every twenty acres of landl once a year, and be filled up again, it would be a dreadful encumbrance. Land buyers would either leave titState. or ihey would deduct - from whaJrould otherwise be a fair priee for the i5 the cost of that digging; But aft'ihee things had become firmly settled; f !& buyer and the seJler could unite iiiytng the law reouirinsr ' such eostlv in(S.3sele labor repealed, eaeh. party ( sellers af! jbo? eraj wuuiu iinu mat vuey were giwgata ersf, by dividing the cost of the pitj-gin "u j ' .ui, oetween them. And so is it aaaaig us with respect to that useless work fence t.n?1tinr , .

The principal ore beds are semonite and are high grade ores, pro ducing a High pe r cent, of metalie iron for ores of this yarietyi They, are also re markably free from those sulphidv-s and. phosphides so detrimental to ores of this class, and are therefore suited to the pro- duction of iron for - the . manufacture of l steel; car wheels, Railroad bars, agricultural j implements, and tarpenter's tools.

The customs officer seized teiu ; on the ground that they could not possibly have been produced in the country whence they were exportedi The capabilities of the United fetates for growing cutton were unknown. Now this country produces over th'rfec-fiurths of all the cottou consumed in . the factories of botlif Europe and Americ;u. ' A few years ago it wasisupbosed that in the States of Louisiana j and Mississippi cotton would always be raised the most, ohealy, ' But lately it is found that i the planters of Georgia, Tex A and North 94r" olina produce the staple" at ; from two to four cents per pount . less than its cultiva tion and gathering ci stin the former States. , Talking Texas alone, and its yield of cotton is almost if not quit lOO par centum more than it was twenty years sgo. - Vet less than. ona-half bt or e ; per icentuui j of its area is planted in co ;ton. :. It latj been es timated that four pet cent of its area could produce all the cotton vnow consumed in Europe and the United States. ' Less than two per centum of the total area of all the cotton States is now employed in the culti-r vation'of tbe plant. ; ' Business News Ii ejis: The courparative ooonomy of stoam and water-power has beea definitely ascertain - '" - i.i . : II ed as regards New piglanu cotton miiis. The rule there is that it cost twenty dol lars per annum per horse-power of water, as against seventy dollars tor steam, i.nis is, of course, subject toj being greatly modified by differences in tht: cost of coal at differ ent localities. Treating labor expease as a constant factor, it would seem that .the dif . ference in market advantages between dif ferent localities might more than compen sate for all extra expenses of, steam over water-power. - j ' n ' ' According to the statistics of thet Rail-. wtty Age, of Chicago, the ratlrqads sold under foreclosure in 1879 embraced a mile age of 4,90$, and "an invested capital of $243,288,000, whieh includes debt and I capita! stock, but docs not include, in every " instance, accrued interest on all the float ing debt.
